SocMed leaves behind the old model of 1-to-1 communication – “talking to someone over the phone”  Enables one-to-many communication (via blogs or microblogging) or many-to-many communication (discussion forums, social walls). Now anyone can setup an online community site/portal to represent a small or big offline community.

She shares what she's learned from the last two years, how to start 'flipping', and our favorite part - a nice huge list of her tried-and-true EdTech tools that help her 'flip' be a success."

With the help of student groups at U of R and RIT campuses, his organization uses Facebook and Twitter to spread the message about the importance of organ donation, and talking about it with family. “We’ve found that young people, they get organ donation,” said Barry. “They’re much more comfortable with the ideas of giving a gift after they pass.”
